During swallowing, this protective structure drops to cover the orifice of the larynx. It is also a leaf-shaped piece of cartilage medial to the thyroid cartilage and hyoid bone.
What is the epiglottis?
What is Synapses?
What are the holes, in the base of the skull, that the cranial nerves exit through?

What are the four lobes in the cerebrum or cerebral cortex?
What are the Occipital, Frontal, Parietal and Temporal?

What is the Vocalis muscle?
(or body, which provides stability and mass to the vocal fold)
What is the large area of the tongue that lies in contact with both the hard and soft palates. This is the area of the tongue that is visible upon protrusion.
What is the Dorsum?

This 11 paired structure raises the ribs up and out to increase the diameter of the thoracic cavity for inhalation
What is the theory that states the vocal folds vibrate because of the forces and pressure of air and the elasticity of the vocal folds.
What is the Myoelastic-areodynamic theory?
This theory depicts the vocal tract as a series of linked tubes: the oral cavity, or mouth; the pharynx; and the nasal cavity.
What is the Source-filter theory?
The most common type of neuron in the nervous system, link neurons with other neurons and, therefore, plan an important role in controlling movement.
What are Interneurons?
What controls and regulates the internal environment of our bodies with its two branches: the sympathetic and the parasympathetic.
What is the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)?
What system, consisting of the corticospinal and corticobulbar tracts, is primarily responsible for facilitating voluntary movements of muscles, including speech muscles.
What is the Pyramidal System?
When there is excess amount of carbon dioxide in the blood cells ( in which more oxygen is needed), what structure in the brainstem fires to activate the respiratory muscles.
What is the Medulla Oblongata?
These muscles are primarily responsible for controlling sound production. They consist of the thyroarytenoid, lateral cricoarytenoid, transverse arytenoid, oblique arytenoid, circothyroid, and posterior circoarytenoid. What is the group name for these muscles?
What are the intrinsic laryngeal muscles?
What muscle is the primary elevator of the velum and what two cranial nerves are involved?
What is the Levator Veli Palatini (X, XI)?
